Unfluted Cylinder vs Fluted Cylinder .

[FN-Five-Seven]

Smith & Wesson Model 686 3-5-7 Magnum with Unfluted Cylinder



Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus with a Fluted Cylinder




I personally like the look of a Unfluted Cylinder on a revolver . Others would prefer a Fluted cylinder
So are there any more benefits of an Unfluted cylinder over a Fluted cylinder , other than looks ?
